poleaxe

[the real god emperor]

Now poleaxe has more cut damage and it became the dream weapon of spamming game killers , they can hiltslash and spam you 24/7 with that weapon this doesn't make sense neither in balance or realism.I suggest you to reduce it's speed so STR based builds will use it regularly as usual and agility based characters will turn to Long Hafted Blade, which should be the weapon they get to play spammy already.

[Panos_]

Yes pls, nerf it and buff danish sword instead, to compensate.

[San]

It's definitely a great weapon, but there are weapons that are faster and more powerful in certain areas. Poleaxe happens to be a nice jack of all trades compared to them. Based on stats, are you certain about the poleaxe being so much better than any alternatives available?

I am not saying you're mad but you're mad xD

[PsychoTwins]

The only time I consider a weapon to be "spammy" is when it is 100 or more speed. Other than that, you just need to work on your footwork and not trying to feint every time allowing them to hit you while you try to be fancy.*

*Say this because half the time I see someone get "spammed" is because they try to feint like crazy and the other person does a simple attack.

Or overbuffedoverheadinstahitbeforeanimation?

But IMO poleaxe isn't superior over other polearms. There's a good selection of spammy poles, it's just a matter or which style of weapon you wanna use.

Oh man my 99 speed MW Longsword can't handle this bullshit 91 speed Poleaxe-of-hiltslash-24/7-360noscope-death. Why can't I feint 12 times, accidentally unplug my mouse and keyboard, replug my mouse and keyboard, and then Castor swing my way to victory? I mean, the German Poleaxe at 93 speed, Elegant Poleaxe and Bec de Corbin at 95 speed, Long Axe at 98 speed, and Long Maul at 77 speed are all way faster, but that's okay because I'm choosing one of the least logical weapons to complain about given my argument.

[the real god emperor]

y'all poleaxe gays!

[Angantyr]

A few points from stab and a few points to swing isn't any considerable overhaul of this weapon, all it does is shake up the stats a bit which always makes players try out different weapons in cRPG. There's just been a few too many on EU1 recently, some old some new, it will change.

i'd much rather fight a poleaxe than some of the polespams you see

[Kafein]

People seem to forget that the speed rating of all polearms is a lie. Or rather, a misleading characteristic that doesn't translate to something you should pay much attention to due to the differences between pole and other animations.

In other words, yes a 94 speed poleaxe will often hit before a 99 longsword, all other things being equal, no matter how ridiculous that may sound.

Only at very close range.

Edit: and only for the right swing*

Except a 99 speed longsword can thrust and outrange any poleaxe attack direction.

If both players stand still, yes. If they don't the poleaxe user has a massive advantage because his stab is only marginally shorter while at the same time much quicker to reach full extension.

Only at very close range.

I disagree
